Customer Reviews Frye Veronica Slouch

Finally, a good fit. This is a great-looking and great-fitting boot. The description lists this as a 15" circumference so don't be afraid to order if you are close to that size. Even being a pull-on versus zip they are an excellent fit.

Making em' jealous!!! People either stare or compliment every single time I wear these boots. There is NOTHING like a pair of Frye boots with its leather, texture, and rich color. I did have a little difficulty getting my heel in but have learned to do it timely by a method of slowly but firmly wiggling it in pushing downwards.

They are beautiful. Worth the expense. Beautifully crafted. Very comfortable, even on the first day. Only complaint: they are extremely difficult to put on! That said, I still might buy them in black.

Favorite boots ever! Well, I love boots and these surpass any I've ever owned. They're beautiful, cool and unbelievably comfortable. They don't run big, though, as most Fryes do, so you'll have to order your correct size instead of sizing down.

Very comfortable once I broke them in. Order a 1/2 size up. If you have wide feet you might even go up a full size. Quality craftsmanship; I expect these will last forever. They look great too. I've gotten so many compliments on these boots.

Rock n roll - These boots are hardcore, yet classy enough to wear with a skirt. They look hot over tight jeans. As could be expected, they slip a bit in the heel, but thick socks help, and hopefully it will lessen as they wear in. I'm sure they'll last for years.

I love these! These boots are wonderful. I usually have a hard time finding boots that will fit over my calves because they are extremely muscular but these actually fit. They took a little to put on the first time, but after I wore them they stretched out and are really comfy. They look cute up all the way or slouched down. Great and versatile. They feel true to size!!

As Pretty As I Thought They'd Be - Based on the reviews here, I bought a half a size up from my normal size and they are perfect. The leather is soft and buttery. I didn't find them hard to get on but my instep is not high and my feet are not wide. The calf circumference is dead-on 15" and feels good. You can wear them up or slouched, and as someone already remarked, they slouch nicely around the ankle when pulled up. This is a great boot, rugged yet feminine!

Great boot - Ordered this boot to be in style for the fall. It is beautiful and comfortable. Replaces the Fryes I had in High school (1970!). They look good with skirts and pants. I like that they are not too tight around the calf, yet don't sag a lot either.

Amazingly beautiful boots - Great boots - wonderful quality. The leather is an even deeper, richer color than in the picture (I ordered the brown). I bought these 1/2 size larger than I normally wear and they fit well - although I won't be able to wear thick socks - but I don't see that as a big deal.

Great Boots!!!!! I received my boots today-with free two day shipping!!! They are beautiful. They're a little hard to get on but fit well. I am going to add an insole for extra cushioning. The color is perfect-I got the brown- and the leather is soft and buttery. LOVE THEM!!!!

I have several pairs of Frye Boots. I have grown to trust and love their quality and styles. This boot is my favorite. It is extremely comfortable. The leather is so soft. I just love these boots.

Panic Attack.. I HAD to have these boots. They were -exactly- what I was looking for! But, when they arrived I almost flipped out because I couldn't get them over the instep of my foot. I did NOT want to send these back!! I kept trying and eventually they made it but it was a struggle. I have several other Frye Boots, none with this issue. Once on, they did feel a little snug in the toes, but loose in the heel. Regardless, I am DEFINITLY keeping these. The leather is high quality and they slouch nicely around the ankle. Beautiful, classic boots! I will wear these a ton. :) (can't wait till they break in...)

Definitely needed a half size bigger. Beautiful boot, comfortable and well made. Love it!

Real attention-getter - Every time I wear these I get a compliment - not that I'm surprised...all the Frye boots I have get compliments... they're very fashionable and of the highest quality - Love em!

Adorable! After trying on every boot in the department store I finally picked these. Yes, they're expensive, but they are extremely well made and timeless. They are selling out quickly so GRAB 'em if you want them!!

Awesome boot - This boot is great. The leather is really soft and comfortable, so it doesn't need breaking in like most boots. It doesn't slouch much, which I really like a lot, due to the thin strip of leather down the back. I usually need a 16 inch calf circumference, and these boots adjust at the top and give just enough that they're a great fit on me. They'd also do fine on someone with thinner calves because of the adjustable top. They're really rad looking, but still nice enough to wear with skirts. Of course, Zappos service was as great as ever.

It is Frye so of course excellent quality. Leather on the vintage soft is yummy. Only complaint is the calf bulges out too far. I kept the boot but if you have a very thin calf you may not like it. Otherwise very great boots.

I purchased these boots on line and they are adorable. I got the size 7 which is what a normally wear in Frye's. Unfortunately, these had to be returned because I barely got my foot into them (and then out of them). I have a high instep and although it's never been a problem before, these boots seem to run a little small and narrow at the bottom of the shaft which made it nearly impossible for me to bend my foot in half to get them on and with only knee high panty hose on, let alone a sock or something heavier. I liked them well enough to have exchanged for a 7.5 or 8 but they were not available in those sizes.

Purchased these on line in size 7 which is my normal size in Frye boots but couldn't get my foot into them. I do not have an issue with a high arch but no amount of pushing pulling or wiggling could get my foot down into the boot past the shaft. Broke my heart, they were adorable but didn't fit. Never exchanged to see if a 7.5 would do the trick but beware, if you have any type of high arch, size up accordingly.

I really liked these boots. I wear a 7.5 and ordered the same. They fit, are a bit snug in the toes, but the heal slips a bit too much. I have a pair of Phillip Harness in a 7.5 and ABSOLUTELY love them. I was hoping these would work so that I did not have to pony up the funds for a different pair (these were on sale) but they just did not work.

I got these boots a few weeks ago in the dark brown tumbled full grain. I wear a 9 to 9.5 and ordered these in a nine. After the first few wearings, I still was having a lot of pain in the balls of my feet. These were just not stretching enough to accommodate my forefoot, which is wide anyway, plus I have bunions. In a last-ditch effort before throwing them up on Craigslist, I put in a gel insole, put on a thick pair of socks, and repeatedly sprayed on a mixture of rubbing alcohol and water while I walked around by house, then wore them till they dried. My feet were absolutely screaming during this process, but it worked! The next day, after my feet had recovered, I put them on with a thin pair of socks and no insole, and they had stretched beautifully! I wore them all day at work, and my feet were totally comfortable to the last minute. They now are incredibly comfortable and I couldn't be happier.

I am consistently a size 8, but in the Veronica Slouch Tall I am an 8.5. They do loosen up a bit with wear, but I'd rather add an insole at that time (if needed) than endure the painful break in period (the toe box is very snug in an 8 for me, to the point my toes cramped and I could no longer walk and had to remove the shoes and exchange them.) Anyway, half size bigger works for me. I bought the chocolate vintage and they are kind of shiny, which took me by surprise, but they grow on you. They distress very easily, in fact the first pair I received from zappos had a pretty serious scrap on them, presumably from someone digging their nails into the shaft to get the boot on. Zappos shipped me a replacement. The replacement had much less wear and no damaged area. These boots look like they are very old, which is what I wanted. If you want a shiny, sparkly, brand new boot, this is not the boot color for you (chocolate vintage). They crease and mark very easily and look very cool with jeans. Thanks Zappos! (I also have the Black full grain - which do look shiny and new - and I am wishing they were a tad more rugged).

This was my first Zappos purchase. I LOVE the style of the boots, loved the color, very casual and a rich, rugged brown. Tried them on and they were a little snug, but I knew they would stretch with wear. As I wore them, the left boot got more comfortable, but the right boot did not. It felt like it was made wrong. I called up Zappos and they said no problem, send 'em back! Even after I told them I didn't have the original box and had worn them 3 or 4 times already. They over-nighted me a replacement. When I got the replacement, the color of the new pair was nothing like the original pair. The new pair was a dull, faded color that wasn't very pretty and I had the same problem with the right boot. It felt a size too small (hence, the 2 star rating for comfort). Unfortunately, I'm sending both pair back, but I did order a size larger in a color that isn't antiqued... Hopefully, I'll be keeping those when they come. So, to make a long review short, don't expect any consistency with color on an antiqued color and if you are on the fence about what size, try a half size up. The quality of the boot is great and Zappos customer service is awesome, however!

I am only writing this review because there are 666 reviews, and I can't stand that number. So this will make it 667... But I tried on the Melissa boot at Nordstrom the other day, and it was beautiful. I found myself looking at other frye books, and this one looks even better than the Melissa. All of their boots are made with buttery soft leather, and they look and feel like they'll last a lifetime. I'm definitely adding this to my wish list.
